Kasa’s “Bullet” in Ms. Magazine

On July 11, 2026, The Bullet Takes Forever was reviewed by Ms. Magazine!

“Reading Kasa’s gun poems triggers the narratives that have lived for decades in our minds and hearts and bodies. We know the story. We have been living the story,” writes Geri Lipschultz. Read the full review here.

The Bullet Takes Forever is Heidi’s first collection of poems. The poems address “America’s culture of mass shootings,” ranging from processing personal experiences with active shooter situations to philosophical, psychological, and linguistic explorations of gun violence. The poems are yearning, vulnerable, and fierce, resonating with readers who feel the effects of rising gun violence and the need for increased safety measures.
